GREAT EXPERIENCE! I OWN 3 PROPERTIES, 1 SINGLE FAMILY HOME, 1 MULTIFAMILY BUILDING (11 UNITS) AND 1 CONDO, AND I HAVE USED SEVERAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS.
HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A BETTER COMPANY FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS. WHEN YOU OWN RENTAL PROPERTY, THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT MAKE THE MOST DIFFERENCE - HAVING GREAT TENANTS WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF THE PROPERTY, LEASING THE PROPERTY FAST AND NOT LOSE MONEY FROM UNIT BEING VACANT TOO LONG, AND TAKING CARE OF REPAIRS IF ANY QUICKLY AND COST EFFECTIVELY. ALL THE PROPERTY MANAGERS AND LEASING AGENTS I USED WERE GOOD AT MOST ON ONE OF THESE KEY ITEMS. ZENPLACE PROPERTY MGMT HOWEVER IS THE ONLY COMPANY I HAVE FOUND THAT FOCUSES ON ALL.
THE FIRST UNIT THEY LISTED FOR RENTAL ON A MONDAY AND BY THURSDAY, THEY ALREADY HAVE 11 SHOWINGS AND BY FRIDAY, I HAD A WELL QUALIFIED AMAZON ENGINEER AND FAMILY AS A TENANT.
WHEN I TALKED TO THE TENANT, HE SAID HE LIKED ZENPLACE'S ONLINE AND MOBILE SYSTEM FOR INSTANTLY BOOKING SHOWINGS AND WAS FRUSTRATED BY OTHER AGENTS WHO HE WOULD HAVE TO KEEP CALLING. ZENPLACE ALSO QUICLY COLLECTED THE DEPOSIT AND GOT THE LEASED SIGNED FAST SO NO WAITING THERE.
GREAT LEASING EXPERIENCE WITH MY OTHER UNITS TOO - QUICK, FAST, AND ATTRACT HIGH QUALITY TENANTS. ALSO LIKE THAT IF THERE IS EVER A MAINTENANCE ISSUE WITH MY RENTAL PROPERTIES, ZENPLACE GETS MULTIPLE QUOTES AND KEEPS EXPENSES LOW.
I AM HAPPY WITH ZENPLACE!!! PROFESSIONAL! AND GETS THE JOB DONE!!!! I GIVE IT 5 STARS!

I hired Rick Rodriguez to rent a new home I purchased in Hayward, Ca in 2017. Rick worked tirelessly to find the right tenant for me. It took longer than expected but Rick got me a temporary tenant to help when the house was sitting vacant. Rick transitioned that tenant into a permanent tenant that I am extremely pleased to have living in my rental property. I trust Rick and know I can count on him to take care of my property management needs"
Thanks,

I own a few rental properties in the are and after deciding I no longer wanted to actively manage them myself I called a few property management companies in the area many of whom never called me back. After meeting and talking with Charlotte and Deb I was convinced they were what I was looking for. They managed to rent my property to some quality tenants and get me more rental income than I ever expected.

Hemlane provided a valuable service for me in 2015, by helping with the screening of potential tenants for my rental properties. As a result of their intuitive and easy to use system, my applicants entered their financial and prior rental history for review purposes. Best of all, the Hemlane team provided extremely valuable guidance for setting key metrics for evaluating applications all with the laws required, and for minimizing the exposure of financial risk. I would strongly recommend Hemlane for any rental property manager who wants a business partner, and not just a vendor, to help them be successful with their end to end operation. They also introduced some very creative enhancements which demonstrate their focus for innovating in their industry they serve. Definite LIKE!

I was managing my rental property myself until the issues just became too difficult to deal with myself. I heard of Ziprent through a friend and contacted them. They quickly communicated with my tenant and took over the management of the property.
Within a few days, they had all issues resolved and had a lease renewal signed. They pick up the phone everytime I try calling so I know my tenant won't be frustrated with communication if they need assistance.
On top of the hands on stuff, through the portal, I can see what's going on with my property at all times. From repairs and invoices to rent collection.
I couldn't have asked for a better company to deal with.

Actually we only have experience with Mr. Valero and his small and personal agency in its capacity highly professional and responsive Property Managers, (not as a Real Estate brokers) but we would strongly recommend the firm if your looking for first-rate knowledge of the West Contra Costa County market -- buying, selling or investing. It's a real 21st century phenomenon when a small, personal agency like this, using the power of the internet and the latest technology can out-perform the big faceless mega-firms AND still give the personal attention of an old-fashioned "mom-and-pop" operation. Best of both worlds: 5½ stars! (if that's allowed.)

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What does a property management company do?

Property management companies manage the rental of residential homes, apartments, condos, commercial spaces and retail spaces. Property managers can oversee just a single unit or many properties, whether those sites are inhabited full-time or are vacation rentals. A property management company helps a property owner or landlord find tenants; collects rent; takes care of accounting, property maintenance and repairs; handles on-site management; and manages vacation rental check-in and checkout tasks. Although many property owners or landlords successfully manage their own rental real estate, a property management company can help you handle tenant issues and maintenance problems, especially if you are not located in the same city or state. Most property management companies deal with tenants directly, and their tasks include:

Marketing the rental property

Collecting rent

Handling repair problems

Responding to tenant complaints

Evicting tenants

A property management company may be a good choice for property owners who have several investment properties, live far away from the rental property, or don’t have time for hands-on management.

Why is property management important?

A property management company can be a landlord’s greatest asset. As a neutral third party, the property manager handles the day-to-day operations of a real estate investment, from a single vacation home to a large apartment building or several rental properties. A property management company can be especially helpful to landlords who own several units and can’t manage each of them individually, or those who live too far from their investment properties to meet with renters and oversee maintenance. Property management is particularly important if your rentals are part of an affordable housing program. To receive financial assistance from the government, the landlord must comply with a complicated set of rules; property management companies should have both experience and expertise in complying with the rules specific to each housing program.

Do property managers need to be licensed?

The licensing requirements for property managers vary from state to state, but many states require property managers to have a real estate broker’s license and in some cases be a legal resident of a state. Property management may not be specified in a state real estate statute, but according to the Institute of Real Estate Management their activities may include advertising the availability of a rental property, discussing a property management agreement with an owner, negotiating leases, showing a rental property and collecting rents.
